Mambo ya Walawi 27
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Sema na Waisraeli uwaambie: ‘Kama mtu yeyote ataweka nadhiri maalum ili kuweka watu wakfu kwa Bwana, kwa kutoa kiasi cha thamani inayolingana,
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man makes a special vow in your valuation of persons to YHWH,
3 thamani ya kukomboa mwanaume mwenye kati ya umri wa miaka ishirini na miaka sitini itakuwa shekeli hamsini za fedha, kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu;
then your valuation has been of the male from a son of twenty years even to a son of sixty years, and your valuation has been fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the holy place.
4 ikiwa ni mwanamke, weka thamani yake kwa shekeli thelathini.
And if it [is] a female, then your valuation has been thirty shekels;
5 Kama ni mtu mwenye umri wa miaka kati ya mitano na ishirini, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli ishirini, na mwanamke shekeli kumi.
and if from a son of five years even to a son of twenty years, then your valuation of the male has been twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;
6 Kama ni mtu mwenye umri kati ya mwezi mmoja na miaka mitano, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli tano za fedha, na ile ya mwanamke kuwa shekeli tatu za fedha.
and if from a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your valuation of the male has been five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation [is] three shekels of silver;
7 Kama ni mtu mwenye miaka sitini na zaidi, weka thamani ya mwanaume kuwa shekeli kumi na tano, na mwanamke shekeli kumi.
and if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your valuation has been fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.
8 Kama mtu yeyote anayeweka nadhiri ni maskini mno kuweza kulipa kiasi kilichowekwa, atampeleka huyo mtu kwa kuhani, ambaye ataweka thamani yake kulingana na kile mweka nadhiri anachoweza kulipa.
And if he is poorer than your valuation, then he has presented himself before the priest, and the priest has valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing reaches, the priest values him.
9 “‘Kama kile mtu alichokiwekea nadhiri ni mnyama anayekubalika kama sadaka kwa Bwana, mnyama wa namna hiyo aliyetolewa kwa Bwana anakuwa mtakatifu.
And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, all that [one] gives of it to YHWH is holy;
10 Mtu haruhusiwi kumbadilisha au kutoa mnyama mzuri kwa mbaya, au mnyama mbaya kwa mzuri. Kama atatoa mnyama badala ya mwingine, wanyama wote wawili, yaani yule aliyetolewa na yule aliyebadiliwa, ni watakatifu.
he does not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really exchanges beast for beast, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy.
11 Kama alichokiwekea nadhiri ni mnyama aliye najisi kiibada, yaani yule asiye kubalika kuwa sadaka kwa Bwana, huyo mnyama lazima aletwe kwa kuhani,
And if [it is] any unclean beast of which they do not bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, then he has presented the beast before the priest,
12 ambaye ataamua ubora wa mnyama huyo, kama ni mzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote atakayoweka kuhani, hivyo ndivyo itakavyokuwa.
and the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; according to your valuation, O priest, so it is;
13 Kama mwenye mnyama atapenda kumkomboa mnyama huyo, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
and if he really redeems it, then he has added its fifth to your valuation.
14 “‘Kama mtu ataweka nyumba yake wakfu kama kitu kitakatifu kwa Bwana, kuhani ataamua ubora wa nyumba hiyo, kama ni nzuri au mbaya. Thamani yoyote kuhani atakayoweka, basi hivyo ndivyo itakavyokuwa.
And when a man sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands;
15 Kama mtu aliyeweka nyumba yake wakfu ataikomboa, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, nayo nyumba itakuwa yake tena.
and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his.
16 “‘Kama mtu anaweka sehemu ya ardhi ya jamaa yake wakfu kwa Bwana, thamani yake itawekwa kulingana na kiasi cha mbegu inayohitajiwa kupandwa katika ardhi hiyo, yaani homeri moja ya mbegu za shayiri kwa shekeli hamsini za fedha.
And if a man sanctifies to YHWH from a field of his possession, then your valuation has been according to its seed—a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;
17 Kama akiweka shamba lake wakfu katika Mwaka wa Yubile, ile thamani iliyokwisha wekwa itakuwa iyo hiyo.
if he sanctifies his field from the Year of the Jubilee, according to your valuation it stands;
18 Lakini kama akiweka shamba lake wakfu baada ya Yubile, kuhani ataweka thamani kulingana na idadi ya miaka iliyobaki kufikia Mwaka wa Yubile unaofuata, na thamani yake iliyoamuliwa itapunguzwa.
and if he sanctifies his field after the Jubilee, then the priest has reckoned the money to him according to the years which are left, to the Year of the Jubilee, and it has been diminished from your valuation.
19 Kama mtu anayeweka wakfu shamba anataka kulikomboa, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake, nalo shamba litakuwa lake tena.
And if he really redeems the field—he who is sanctifying it—then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has been established to him;
20 Kama pengine halikomboi shamba hilo, au kama ameliuza kwa mtu mwingine, kamwe haliwezi kukombolewa.
and if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed anymore;
21 Shamba hilo litakapoachiwa mwaka wa Yubile, litakuwa takatifu, kama shamba lililotolewa kwa Bwana, nalo litakuwa mali ya makuhani.
and the field has been, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to YHWH as a field which is devoted; his possession is for the priest.
22 “‘Kama mtu ameweka wakfu kwa Bwana shamba alilonunua, ambalo si sehemu ya ardhi ya jamaa yake,
And if he sanctifies a field of his purchase to YHWH, which [is] not of the fields of his possession,
23 kuhani ataamua thamani yake hadi Mwaka wa Yubile, naye huyo mtu atalazimika kulipa thamani yake siku hiyo kama kitu kitakatifu kwa Bwana.
then the priest has reckoned to him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and he has given your valuation in that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH;
24 Katika Mwaka wa Yubile, shamba litarudishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye lilinunuliwa kutoka kwake, yule ambaye ardhi ilikuwa mali yake.
in the Year of the Jubilee the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him who [has] the possession of the land.
25 Kila thamani lazima iwekwe kulingana na shekeli ya mahali patakatifu, gera ishirini kwa shekeli.
And all your valuation is by the shekel of the holy place: the shekel is twenty gerahs.
26 “‘Lakini hakuna mtu atakayeweka wakfu mzaliwa wa kwanza wa mnyama, kwa kuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza tayari ni mali ya Bwana; awe ngʼombe au kondoo, ni wa Bwana.
Only, a firstling which is YHWH’s firstling among beasts—no man sanctifies it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] YHWH’s.
27 Kama ni mmoja wa wanyama walio najisi, aweza kumnunua kwa bei iliyowekwa, akiongeza sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake. Kama hatamkomboa, mnyama huyo atauzwa kwa bei iliyowekwa.
And if [from] among the unclean beast, then he has ransomed [it] at your valuation, and he has added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it has been sold at your valuation.
28 “‘Lakini chochote kile mtu alicho nacho na akakiweka wakfu kwa Bwana, iwe ni binadamu, au mnyama, au ardhi ya jamaa, hakiwezi kuuzwa au kukombolewa. Chochote kilichowekwa wakfu ni kitakatifu sana kwa Bwana.
Only, no devoted thing which a man devotes to YHWH of all that he has, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to YHWH.
29 “‘Mtu yeyote aliyewekwa wakfu ili kuangamizwa, hawezi kukombolewa. Mtu kama huyo lazima auawe.
No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
30 “‘Zaka ya kila kitu kutoka shambani, iwe ni nafaka kutoka kwa ardhi, au tunda kutoka kwa miti, ni mali ya Bwana; ni takatifu kwa Bwana.
And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is YHWH’s; [it is] holy to YHWH.
31 Kama mtu akikomboa chochote cha zaka yake, lazima aongeze sehemu ya tano ya thamani yake.
And if a man really redeems [any] of his tithe, he adds its fifth to it.
32 Zaka yote ya kundi la ngʼombe au la kondoo na mbuzi, kila mnyama wa kumi apitaye chini ya fimbo ya yule awachungaye, atakuwa mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock—all that passes by under the rod—the tenth is holy to YHWH;
33 Yule mnyama wa kumi hatachaguliwa kwa kigezo cha uzuri au ubaya, naye haruhusiwi kubadiliwa. Ikiwa atabadiliwa, basi mnyama yule wa kwanza na huyo aliyebadiliwa wote watahesabiwa kuwa watakatifu, na haiwezekani kuwakomboa.’”
he does not inquire between good and bad, nor does he exchange it; and if he really exchanges it, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.”
34 Haya ndiyo maagizo Bwana aliyompa Mose juu ya Mlima Sinai kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.
These [are] the commands which YHWH has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.
